Tanner Buchanan’s first main role in TV series came in 2016 when he was cast in ABC’s “Designated Survivor.” Buchanan played Leo Kirkman, son of Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland), who follows his father and the rest of his family into the White House when Tom is surprisingly sworn in as President of the United States following a terror attack that kills everyone else in the line of succession.
Throughout most of his time on the series, Leo’s primary concern is taking care of his younger sister Penny (McKenna Grace) as his family adjusts to their new lives. From the outset, he promises to cause trouble. The very first time we meet Leo, he is lying to his parents about where he’ll be for the evening. “After the attack on Washington, D.C.,” wrote Terry Terrones in his review at The Gazette, “Leo can’t be found. When the Secret Service tracks him down, he’s selling drugs at a rave.”
Ultimately, though, Leo gets his act together, eventually heading to Stanford for college. Though he was part of the main cast for the show’s first season, he was recurring in Season 2 of “Designated Survivor” and did not appear in the third season.
